bug#81487: problem rendering thai text from a utf8 input file

With emacs-31.0.91, invoking it as emacs -Q -nw UTF-8-demo.txt, I don't see any problem rendering Thai text per the UTF-8-demo.txt input file nor with artifacts remaining in the TTY screen after walking through the Thai text area. The problem looks solved.  Thanks for finding and fixing it before I was even aware of the problem.

Previously, you were talking about alignment of the second column.
Now you are talking only about artifacts.  Is alignment no longer the
problem?

I can indeed reproduce the artifacts in Emacs 30.2, but not in
the latest pretest of what will soon become Emacs 31.1 (where the way
we display on text-only frames was completely redesigned and
reimplemented).  So I think this problem is already solved in the
latest development code.  If you can try the latest pretest (binaries
are available from alpha.gnu.org) or build the emacs-31 branch of the
Emacs Git repository yourself, please try there and tell if you still
see the artifacts.
